I realize this thread may have dried up.... But I have an Enfield Mk4 no1 rifle (1943 dated) that the story is that it was brought back from Europe after the war ended by my grandfathers brother (my grandfather had polio as a child and thus was not drafted). They then "sporterized" it once they got it home (removed the top barrel cover, shortened the fore grip, removed the front sight hood - but retained the flip up "long distance sight") and my grandfather used it for hunting black bear. Chambered in 303 Brit. I still shoot it when I can find ammo (I have not actually hunted with it). Biggest issue I have with the gun is that finding hunting grade ammo for 303 brit is now running nearly $3+ a bang....and that is IF you can find it. Most of what I can find for a reasonable price is FMJ surplus ammo as this was the common military ammo across the british empire from WW1 up into Korea. The 303 brit cartridge is essentially a slightly less powerful version of a 30-0-06. I would have no issue hunting with it....it's not a museum piece so might as well have some fun with it.
